Hi 'ya TrainFam!
Thanks for some input!
Yup, I figured I would need to move carefully and conservatively to clean up these little 3/16" litho's. I may try mild warm water dish washing/water mix and a paper towel in an effort to remove the dirt crud that these seem to collect. Then again, I may just clean the wheels and run 'em like they be! That "worn" look is kind of cool. Sort a natural "weathering", if you will.
Getting ready to go out to my layout building a play trains. I may take my new gon along and see that I can do about the wheels and call it "good". Oddly, overall, I'm liking the worn look that I'm seeing on this stuff.
All fer now!
Andre

Sounds like a good idea. The good thing about Marx trains is that they can be weathered and still look great. Have fun!
